Can you use keyboard shortcuts in WYSIWYG fields?

Overview

• General markdown syntax and some keyboard shortcuts work in Coursedog’s WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text box.

What is the underlying format used for your WYSIWYG editor?

• The underlying format is a HTML/JSON content tree.

• Our WYSIWYG editor was built using a toolkit for building rich text editors; RTF content pasted into our WYSIWYG editor should retain most of its formatting.
